Friendly Corvid Wednesday 4th January 2017

Yesterday, being a Wednesday was volunteer day at Pembrey Burrows, after a good ? litter pick around the car parks and tracks we managed to clean the area up after a busy Christmas and New year period, but why do people not take their dog mess home with them!!

A spot of emergency fence repairs in two fields, following the great escape before Christmas, left us just enough time to do a spot of "monitoring" along Cefn Sidan.

The amount of sea bourne litter was very depressing, but its a reflection of our society across most of the world, I didn't take any photographs as I'd left my camera in the van, and anyway one pile of litter is much the same as another.

Thankfully Veronica was snap happy and managed to capture this cheeky chappy, a Northern Raven, very much king of what he/she surveys quite unphased by our approach, although two others a mile or so away were less settled.

A report of a Dolphin corpse on the beach from a local turned out to be either a Common or Striped Dolphin, apparently over the Christmas period there have been several reports along the coast of South Wales.


A sad end for a graceful sea mammal

An increasing threat - Wildfire

  Bore da pawb, Sounds dramatic and maybe an odd thing to think about given the amount of rain storm Bert dumped on South Wales in the past ...
